40-for-FORTY is our way of celebrating and giving back. On March 28th, Lauren turns 40! Instead of feeling depressed about getting older, she is actually pretty excited to hit this milestone. Over the past 40 years, Lauren has encountered many people and organizations that INSPIRE and ENCOURAGE her to ACT and GIVE. In a world that is constantly changing and where we are bombarded with incessant media reminding us of uncertain times and pending catastrophes, she wants to make this YEAR all about highlighting the good. We plan to do this by sharing stories of people and organizations that INSPIRE- ACT- ENCOURAGE- GIVE.
